Shutting Down a COM Server Remotely

I have a COM server which implements a IServerMonitor interface that
includes a ShutDownServer method. How can I shut down the COM server
regardless of connected clients? In other words can I bypass the "There are
still active COM objects in this application. ..." dialog when attempting
to close the server?

Thanks

Will

This dialog is shown by AutomationTerminateProc that is located comserv
unit. So you will have to modify this unit or inherit TComServer class so it
returns zero ObjectCount when necessary to cheat this function.
